Specication of Lettbrs Patent. Patented Dec. 27, 1910.

Application filed January 20, 1908. Serial No. 411,784.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it knoWr that I, JOHN C. CORAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lowell, 'in the county of `Middlesex and- Commonwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Machines forW'inding Cones and tubes by the substitution of cylindrical mandrels for the conical mandrels shown in the drawings Which accompany this specification. 'Said machine is adapted to take a strip of paper or similar sheet. material, to apply paste to said strip and to Wind said strip spirally into a cone; to sever the cone from the strip; to lay the lap; to retain the cone so wound upon the mandrel until said cone is dry enough to retain its form; to lay and 'burnlsh the lap on the inside of the small 4end oi the cone; and to discharge said cone from its mandrel g-there being a series .of mandrels, on oneV of which a cone is being formed simultaneously With the discharge ofthe cone which has been the longest time on its mandrel.

This invention comprises means for stopping the .paper-feeding mechanism when the strip is cut, vafter the formation of a cone; means for relieving the strain upon the paper' strip at the beginning of the feed; means which allow the paper carrying reel to bepstarted gradually to avoid breaking the strip; means for slacking the tension of lthe paper just 4before the last formed cone is severed from the strip, to allow the strip 'to be taken quickly into the machine;

means'forfapplyling the paste to the overlapping artsof the strip; means'fo-r'applyingthe ree end of the severed strip to the v"next mandrel -of the series; means by which the mandrel grasps the strip previous to the. Winding of the next cone; means for driving the mandrels, one at a time, in a direction to Wind the cone; meansfor driving 4the mandrels, one at a time, ina reversed direction, to dlschargethe finished cone;

means for burnisliing the .inner lap at the small end of the cone; means for stop ing and starting the circular series of man rels at the proper intervals of time; means for traversing the pastingidevice with the mandrel to lay the last turn `or two Aat right angles with the axis of the cone.

In the accompanying drawings on ten sheets, Figure 1 1s a planet' a machine embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a front ele.- vation of the same; Fig. 3,-a left side elevation ofthe winding and discharging mechanism and their operating means; Fig. 4, a rear elevation of the machine; Fig. 5, a left side elevation of the driving mechanism, the clutch which drives and traverses the mandrels, some mandi-els', the clutch spindle shaft stopping mechanism, the slide, the burnishing devices and the tension-levers; Fig. 6, a plan of the cam-shaft, cams and one-toothed pinion, the driving or clutchpulley, the slide which opens and closes the clutch and moves the paste-box and operates the center-spindle of the mandrel to catchl `the paper, and the Vtension-levers; Fig.` 6,

of the cone to be made therefrom, the wider the strip, the heavier ythe cone. These strips are wound in flat spirals c c1 and placed concentrically on said reels B B1 ,and are unwound therefrom by the turning of the coneformin mandrels K hereinafter described, said spirals being pressed upon said reels by the weights b bl, so that said spirals and reels turn together by friction. The reels are prevented from turnin too rapidly by tension devices, represente as levers D D1 of the first order, supported on a bracket a, on the rear ends of which levers are arranged adjustable wei-ghts d d1 to press with more or less friction the rubbers Z2 d3 car` ried on the .frontends of sai-d levers, against. the under surfaces of said reels.

The annular tops b1 b3 of the stands b b1 are cut down in front atbs o, to a level with thetom of the reels B B1, to allow the strips of pa'perto swing laterally as the spring take ups E E1 vibrate in, one direction under the pull of said strips and in the other direction by the resilience of said take-ups.

Each take-u E E1 is represented as consisting of a rodpe pivoted at c1 on a bracket e2 supported on the corresponding stand, the free end of said rod being thrown by a coiled spring e3 toward the body of the machine and a guide-roll c1 being pivoted in said free end. The rod e is bent up to bring said roll on a level with the spiral of paper. Therod e may be elastic and bent by the strain of the pa er strip as shown in Fig. 1. A finger F F1 1spivoted at f f1 on the top of each stand/ and is swung over the spiral of paper at tlie'point where the strips leave said spirals to prevent .the paper .strips from jumping over the tops .of the stands and bccoming snarled and twisted.l From the roll e4 the paper strip passes to the leftand in front of an idle roll e5 and over the hub z' of the tension-'lever land under a tensionpin i1 and over another tension-pin i1, the terr sion-pin 'i1 projecting horizontally from said tension-lever and the tension-pin .i2 projecting from an extension of the paste-box H. Thence the striprpasses `over the looper G which raises the paper when the winding'of a cone is completed, to slacken saidpaper,

just before severing the strip, in order to prevent the paper from breaking or pulling out of the mandrel when the following mandrel begins to wind the next cone (Fig. 12 Said looper G comprises an arm g rigid y secured to av shaft g1, journaled in stands h h1 on the paste-box H, to the free end of which arm g is secured a horizontal-rod g2,

on which is fast another arm g3, the paper strip running over the rod g2 between said arms g g3 to the pasting devices.

A crank is secured to the .shaft g1 and an inclined slide-rod g5 is jointed to' said crank g1 and is provided with a, longitudinal guide-slot g6 which receives a pin g" projecting horizontally forward from` a bracket a1 on the frame i@l the lower free end of said slide-rod being struck at each partial revolution ofthe disk M, hereinafter mentioned,

by one of the journal-boxes m which project' fromsaid disk M,-to rock said shaft g1 and raise the rod g1, -to l'oop the paper upward, the parts of the looperbein'g restored to position by their own weight.

A paste-roll h2 journaled in the vpaste-boxv H is driven by the friction of the paper thereon and raises the paste up to the flanged doctor-roll h3, which .is driven by a belt (not shown) on a pulley h1* fast on the shaft'a,15 of said doctor-roll, the adjacent surfaces of said rolls running in opposite directions and the doctor-roll removlng the surplus pastey from the paste-roll, and said doctor-rollbeing cleaned of said-paste by a stationary doctor-plate hr1 (Figs. 2 and 12).. The pasteroll is narrow, having a thickness only about one third as great as the width of the paper strip and said strip is pressed against said paste-roll by a flanged guidey/roll 71,5 which holds the strip on they paste-roll in such a manner as to. apply the paste'for a part of the way across saidV strip from4 one edge thereof` the strip ,of paste being in width a little less than the width of the ylap ofthe cylindrical portion 701 having on opposite.

sides two longitudinal guide slits k2 7c3. lVithin the hollow cone c and cylinder k1 is arranged a two part center-spindle, the parts of which are each half round in cross-section and are arranged Within thenose or small end of the cone lc and together have a slidinglit therein.

-whch reaches through one of said slits to paper in the finished cone. From the pastj Each .part T T1 has La lug. t t1' which arethen at`rest.

in th`e same direction.

a 1S driven into the cylindrical part la* of the body of the mandrel. For'conveniently in'- sertlng the wi're t4 the adjacent faces of the parts T T1 may be'hollow or dgrooved. The projections t2 3 are arrange to allow the 10 part T? to project farther out of the cone than the art' T,.to allow the'strip of paper to be lai on'the inner` face of said part T1. (Figs. 13, 14.) Each mandrel. K has a rear end-portion-which isconvex onv one side las i5 `and concave on the other le", these curves 4 enig concentric lwith the mandrel-traversing disk L, and'said lmandrel has also an intermediate externally-screw threaded portion lo? which passes through a nut Z in said 2o disk, so that'when said disk L and another disk M, whichv carries journal boxes m in one of "which the'cylindrical part of each mandrel is journaled, are rotated together (both of said disks being fast on the disk- 25 shaft N and concentric therewith) the series of mandrels are carried concentrically around said shaft'N and when a mandrel is rotated in said disks said mandrel is caused to move longitudinally in said disks The shaft N, with the disks L M, is alternately rotated and prevented from rotation by a form of the Geneva stop so modified so as to permit the rotation to be always The onetoothed driving pinion O, which is of the usnal form, l1s fast lon the cam-shaft l (Figs. 4, 7 and-11) and its convex surface tits the concave openings m of the disk M, the periph- Aso ery of which corresponds to that of the stop- Wheel vof the Geneva st op, except that said disk M has no convex surface and that the concave openings m* 4serve the purpose o't' ,holding the maudrcls K in position while one cone is being wound and another is being discharged,'the single tooth o of said pinion yO engaging once in eaclnrevolution of said pinion a notch m2 in said disk M.

The cam-shaft P has fast thereon a pulley p which is driven by a belt p1 from any suitable driver,.said belt, (to avoid the complie-ation of cams or unusual forms of gearing to vary Vthe speed of thc one-toothed driving pinion) heilig allowed to slip while .one cone isbcing wound and another is Being discharged.

The concavo-convex shape in cross-section of the rear end-portions of the mandrels K, shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 10 and above referred to, allows said `portions to enter correspondingly-shaped slots q q.in .the 'clutchspindles QQl as the disks L M are turned, one mandrel (the winding' mandrel) then passing out of the spindle Q, another (or discharging mandrel) fromV thc spindle Ql into the spindle Q and another mandrel into the spind e Q1. The mandrels are kept in proper position to enter said clutch-spindles by a vstationary guide-ring lt which tits concavities las in the collars/1: of all said mandrels, said ring R being broken away at 'r to allow the clutch-spindles to revolve the mandrels. The clutch-spindles are connected by-gears g2 g3 to rotate in opposite directions (Fig. 9), the spindle Q being driven by a clutch-pulley S rotated by a belt s, said pulley S beineloose on a ackward extens1on Q of sain clutch-spindle and having a rim al which is engaged by the brake-pulley or clutch counterpart S (Figs. l, 4, 5, i and' 7) which is fast on said clutch-spindle Q, saidI counterl)art S havin(r friction-arms s2 )ivoted inside of said counterpart S1 which arms enlar carrying links s (Figs. 5 and (i) jointed to the front ends of said friction-arms s2, the lower end of said lever s being engagedby said slide.' When the mandrels are' thus revolved in opposite directions, one advances by the turning ol the spindle Q to wind the y paper stripfrom the tip to the base or larger end of the cone while the other mandrel retreats and dralws out of the fimslied cone which 1s prevented from mov1ng backward by the base of the cone last mentloned strikl ing the front face of the stripper-disk M1 which is fast on the shaft N above referred to. The backwardy movement of the slide U is caused by the collar la" of the discharging mandrel last named striking the vertical projection a secured to said slide,-in a longitudinally adjustable manner, however, to accommodate cones of different lengths. At;

the same time that the slide U begins to move backward, the part T1 of the center` spindle of the discharging mandrel strikes the corresponding bearing m on the disk M and by the further backward movement of the mandrel is caused to project from said mandrel far enough to receive the strip ofpaper for the winding ofthe next cone. (Figs. 5 and 13.) The backward movement of the slide U, by swinging the forked lever a, above described, in the other direction, also opens the clutch, but the momentum of the moving parts is so great that it is necessary to use other means to stop the rotation of the mandrels at the roper time.I The slide U (Figs. 1, 4, G and has a projection u1 which while said slide is in its forward position supports the weight of a brake-lever V pivoted at o on a stud Iv1' which'projects horizontally from a bracket as on the frame A. Said lever V is 'weighted 'at one end at v2 I and on opposite sides of its hub v3 is connected by links'fv o5 to a friction, strap o which surrounds the brake-pulley S, in 's'ch stop the rotation of said pulley S1. As the der said lever.

y proper position,

slide reaches the limit of its backward movement the pro]ection al--moves out from un- The projection a1 on'the slide U stands iinderthe cam p2, fast on the cam-shaft P, except when said slide is in its most rearward position, but there is a recess a2 in said slide which, when the latter is in the position lastnamed, allows said cam p2 to ass through said slide U and said cam-shaftrl) to revolve, causing another cam p3, also fast on said shaft P, to raise the weighted lever V.

' A mutilated disk Q2 fast on the clutchspindle Q, is provided with a curved recess g which is adapted to fit an arc-shaped positioning-lange p4 on the pulley p. and ateach endof said recess the angular part where the periphery and the curvature of the recess would, if continued, meet, is cut away at g". If the`clutch-spindle Q, does not stop-in exactly the right position, the end of the flange will strike the wall of the recess g5 and turn.the .mutilated disk Q and ythe clutch-spindle Qv to the proper position in either direction. Cutting away the corners at the ends of the curved recess enables said flange p4 to restore the disk 'Q2 to position from "a greater displacement. (Fig. l.) When the clutch-spindles arein the tooth o of the onetoothed pinion O enters a notch m2 in the disk M and turns. the latter one angular space and the cam pzstrikes on theinclined side a3 of the recessu2 and moves' the slide U forward. (Figs. 6 and,11.)f vWhen the slide U moves forwar'd,`;`an .incline u* om said lslide raises the front endc'affy a' bell- -crank lever u vpivoted on the frame A -and throws the upper end of said lever forward against the lug t and causes the part T of the center-spindle'to slide forward over the paper strip previously placed on the part; T1. rAt' thel saine' time that the part f T ofv the center-spindle I is-thrown forward ,tof grip the strip of' aper, the upper part of the guide-finger is moved against said strip and'holds said` strip in the plane' ofthe paste-roll during the first turngof the A of said finger having a hub w mandrel, after which the strip rises above the top of said guide-finger, the lower end i (Figs, 2, 3, 5 andl2) provided with a radially projecting weight-arm w1 which normally throwsv said finger awav from said strip, said hubY being pivoted between lugs 'L02 w3 on a stando secured to the frame A. 4The hub fw is priovided with a projection w4 having a downwardly and backwardly inclined npper-surface w5 (Figs. 3 and 5) over which the undercut front end u of--the slide U runs:J in the yforward movementl of said slide, to depress saidl projection fw* and rock said roc -shaft- 72.9 arranged from-the newly hub. The backward movement ofthe" slide U (caused by the the dischargin commences w en the newv cone is nearly wound. Without the guide-fin er W the crowd the strip of pa er forw'ard and tend to wind the paper with a greater 'pitch than that of the screw-threaded part la" of the mandrel, making the pitch 'of the cone longer at the small end. By adjusting the backward movement of mandrel as above' described) f upper end of the guide-finger so that it shall press the paper slight] to the rear of the-plane ofthe paste-roll th the cone will be annular instead of spiral and .the'smaller end of said cone will not'V need to be trimmed. n

The paper cone is usually reinforced at the larger end by one or more annular turns of the paper strip at right angles to the axis of the mandrel, as shown anddescrib'ed in previous patent and at the same time the e firstl wind of base of the cone is thereby ada Itedl to sup-.

port the cone when filledt wit yarn and placed on a bench or table in a vertical o' sition. Means are therefore provided Ifor moving the paste-box forward with 'the paper are being laid. The paste-box H slides in the static a* parallel withthe axes yof the mandrels Figs. V1, 5, 6 and 6a) and'is ackwardly extending arni-l provided with a mandrel while the reinforcing turns of the il. and its rear-end portion is represented as 'provided with a holek7 which receives the up er end of a radial arm 'ha secured to a atrightangles tothe vpath of the' slide, backwardly extending arm a cam-piecexh, se-A cured on the top of the'slide U as bybolts k12 which ass down permit 'saidj piece kn to be movedbackward.

"'M'camash'aft P raises the rear end of the lever p5 being )heavy enough to rock said lever in cutter m'1 so that when the stripper-disk M1 is turned to bring the next mandrel into windin'er positioill the strip is severed between'tlie cutterszm m1, At the same movement of th` disk M1 the part of the paper strip whic projects from the paper cone` of said cone by the spring lap-laying finger Y, (Figs. 1, 12 and 16) pivoted at y on the stand aA1 `and forcedA by a tension spring y1 The lap-laying finger Y is represented in Fig. 15 as a wire bent `at right angles at its lower end y2 toward the disk M1 to extend across said paper-strip. Just before the end ofthe strip or outer lapl reaches the lower end of the finger Y, the upper end of the presser-finger Z, pivoted at e on the-stripperdisk M1 is forced Iby the spring a against said lap. The finger Z has been held by the stationary cam a6, supported on the stand a4, out of engagement with t-he paper cone but at this time rises above said cam.`

The lever is pivoted in a bracket p supported on the stand a5 rigidly secured to the frame of the machine and carries at the rear end a set of type p adapted to print `or stamp a trade-mark, a date, or the name of the manufacturer, the other or front end of said lever is jointed to a slidep1 which is raised by another cam projection p11 on the same cam 1* to press the type into the cone. (Fig, 7.

,The object in havin two reels or turntables B B1 is that anot er spiral c or o1 may be in readiness to be'introduced into the machine without delay when one spiral is exhausted and the end of the new strip is placed in the proper 4relation to the correspondingtake-up and tension-lever before the runnin'g strip is run out so that the single lever V1 above described serves the purpose of takin the ressure of each tension-lever D or 1 off rom the corresponding reel.
